mmh.. maybe if you are coding in a night session, fall into a microsleep just around midnight, while typing and, oh dear when you push the save button it is today already. But as a perfectionist with maybe some OCD you want the date of the file to be "yesterday".. So here it comes.
I could imagine it happened often during the early OS development phases, often enough for the early gods to implement that option! :D

LOL! :D

I think it is more of a side effect of Date using dos.library, it just accepts whatever dos.library manage to interpret as some sort of time stamp :)

Anyways - the unmentioned program in this hoopla, is SYS:Prefs/Time...

Thank you, Thomas, for attempting to support a third-party product

More like... I don't know 5-7, perhaps more, third party products, plus quite a few "homebrew" projects? :)

Right, and the same is the case for many other languages too, including Norwegian, Swedish, and even German. Yet...
The lower/upper case for ISO-Latin-1 is easily resolved, and it is language-independent. If bit 5 is set, it is lower case. So it's not quite that simple.

Exactly, so the mystery remains - why is dansk.language so much more elaborate than the others - Danish and Norwegian bokmål (norsk.language) should, aside from a few spelling differences, be identical.

Speaking of Norwegian bokmål locales, any occurrence of "Fortryde" should be replaced with "Avbryt" or "Angre", depending on context.

"Fortryde" is really a Danish word that means "regret" and though it exists in the Norwegian bokmål dictionary, it is a word hardly any Norwegian will understand, and I cannot fathom why the translator would even come up with such a word, unless he is Danish. The Norwegian word for "regret" is "angre" (which is shorter than "fortryde").



(And personally, I would use imperative - "Prøv igjen | Velg annet verktøy | Avbryt")

This is Nowegian bokmål of Workbench prefs.

* The title "Workbench Innstillinger" should be "Workbench-innstillinger" (like in OS 3.9), but really "Innstillinger for Workbench" is better.
* "Gjemte enheter" - "Skjulte enheter" (as in OS 3.9) would be better. ("gjemme" is for many too danish/posh, "gjømme" is more normal, "skjule" is neutral and also works in nynorsk)
* "synlige" should be "synlig" (visible) - each device is a singular, not plural - but better is "vis" (show)
* "gjemte" (not shown above) should be "gjemt" (hidden) - but better is "ikke vis" (don't show), or just "skjul" (hide)
* "Ingen Tittel Felt" should be "Ingen tittelfelt" (no title field), though I would write "Skjul tittellinje" ("hide title line"), or simply "Skjul tittel" (hide title)
* "Ingen Enhetsmåler" should be "Ingen enhetsmåler", though I would write "Skjul enhetsmåler" ("hide unit gauge")
* "Ingen Farge Ikoner" (cringe!) should be "Ingen fargeikoner" (No colour icons) - but really, the matter here is 3.5+ icon format, so "Ingen ColorIcons", just like "Ingen NewIcons"
* "Sett MagicWB Farger" should be "Sett MagicWB-farger"
* "Ramme-Str." should simple be "Rammer", with the options "ingen|liten|middels|stor"
* "Maks Lengde på Filnavn" should be "Maks lengde på filnavn" (where all these capital letters come from - German?)
* "Stack Størrelse" should be "Stack-størrelse"
* "Tastatur Valg Forsinkelse" (huh??) should be "Tastaturvalgforsinkelse", but sheesh - "Pause for tastevalg" is much better and shorter.

Oh, and the two-letter acronym for kilobyte is "kB", not "KB".

(sheesh, every time I look at it, I find new things!)

I change my mind “Ramme”, singular, or else it must be “ingen | små | middels | store”.

ASL prefs also needs and overhaul, as does hdtoolbox, installer, the installation text, the .language file, and much more. Consider the Workbench prefs as an illustration on the poor quality of the translation. OS 3.9 was miles ahead in this regard.

It should be easy for anyone to update or make locales that are missing, without having to enter legal contracts.

So why don't you?
I did, but not by means that are considered "legal".

I guess it is only appropriate to pay Thomas for his work, in what OS 3.1.4 locales say are the appropriate currencies of his country - Deutschmark und Pfennig.
